Harry Styles sent everyone in a tizzy when he showed up at the 2019 Met Gala with just one earring, and new details about the accessory have been revealed.

In a new interview, the 25-year-old singer’s stylist Harry Lambert dished that he got his ear pierced just to wear that one earring.

“It was the perfect final touch for the outfit. About four days ago, the day before I left to travel to New York, I was on Gucci’s website and saw these pearl earrings,” Harry L told Miss Vogue. “Harry and I have discussed previously piercing his ears, and this was the perfect time. I text him and he replied, saying ‘Let’s do it.’”

“Harry has always been keen to experiment with fashion and is never scared to try something new,” he continued. “Over the years we have worked out what he likes and doesn’t like. It has been a natural progression of experimentation that has led up to the look and where we are today.”
